I'm not sure how many 6" figures I'll actually end up getting, but here's what I hope to see outside of the predictable main cast (Vader, Chewie, etc.) and obvious others (Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, etc.).

I'm not sure if electronics are the best idea for a collector themed line. You'd basically be forcing mint-in-box collectors to open the toy up or face leaking batteries 10-20 years down the road. Plus the battery pack would need to be accessible to allow people to change or remove the batteries. Which is a permanent compromise to the look of the toy for an electronic feature that will get old after a couple of days.

If the battery packs are sealed and inaccessible, then what's the point of collecting them since the figure is likely going to be destroyed by leaking batteries after a few years?

That is true. But, I'd rather the batteries not be included anyway. With it being a more mature collectible line, I don't think it's necessary for it to have "Try Me" packaging and so there'd be no need to include batteries. Besides, not including the batteries means they don't have to sacrifice cost from the actual block and/or its features.

It's an unrealistic desire anyway. If they make it electronic, it'll probably be part of some exclusive set like for SDCC or something. If they actually use up a slot just to release a 6" block of plastic at retail, then it will probably come with a Han Solo figure and be a meager accessory that's not worth adding electronics to.

I'd really like to see the Sandtrooper they're doing be accurate to the armor in ANH for Sandtroopers, which means notably different from the armor used for Stormtroopers in places like the knee, the hip boxes, and more.

I'm really hoping that will be the case; but it won't necessarily be a deal-breaker if it's not.

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-

With this line, I don't think I'd bother getting visually indistinctive characters like Tarkin and Biggs, I think I'd stick with iconic characters that are somewhat action-related (example: Endor Leia, maybe; but Ewok Village Leia, no). I do wonder how those secondary characters would do at $20 in this line though.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

The 12" Action Collection ran for a long time and included some major secondary characters.

The 12" Action collection also ran for about $19.99...
